Lincoln man sues estate of man who shot him

A Lincoln man has sued the estate of the man who shot him during a dispute over a dog.

The Lincoln Journal Star says 29-year-old Isaac Durr is seeking more than $52,000 from the estate of Scott Brus. The lawsuit was filed last week.

Police said in July last year that Brus and Durr had been arguing about Durr's dog defecating in Brus' yard and about the dog's barking. Police said Brus shot Durr in an arm, leg, hand and the stomach and then drove away. Police chased Brus until his vehicle hit a pole and stopped. Officers say Brus then shot himself before they could reach him.

The lawsuit says Durr is seeking compensation for his medical costs and for his pain and suffering.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."

Hillary Clinton did not have a State Department email account while she served as America's top diplomat, a senior state department official said Monday, and instead used a personal email account during her four years on the job.
